Wednesday night's "Modern Family" was an example of the series at the top of its game. I particularly want to applaud the Dunphy plotline. Seeing this week's MVP, Phil, after his daughters "poked the bear" was a sight to behold.

Claire, meanwhile, took Luke and Manny go-kart racing because she was tired of being the "bad cop." Unfortunately, she got a little too into it, practically running them over in her go-kart and bullying Manny into ordering something less healthy at the snack bar: "What, are you going to the ball Cinderella?

THR reports that the Bravo star is being sued by the Los Angeles-based management company Raw Talent for $100 million. The lawsuit says the company helped to broker Frankel's recent venture to sell her Skinnygirl Margarita brand to Fortune Brand's Beam Global Spirits & Wine unit and that Raw Talent was later cut out of the deal.

In a new interview with Billboard, Beyoncé bares all about her latest album, professionally splitting from her manager dad, her upcoming role in "A Star Is Born" and why she got "Goofy" on a recent day off.

Slated for release in June, the singer's fourth solo offering is titled, appropriately enough, "4." It's a number that holds special meaning for Beyoncé.
